bad companion builds, can't respec?

[Mandalore]

Companion builds are poorly optimized, especially for the hardest difficulty. Why can't we respec them from base levels? Ulfar is pretty fun, but boy is he one of the weakest characters, with how poor his build is.

You can respec on the Bridge by talking to Janus. However, the first couple of respecs are free and additional ones costs profit.

You can't respec companions from base levels though. Ulfar for example, can't respec'd lower than level 20.

You might mean the high factotum janris

Name 5 cRPGs you can respec companions to base character level 1?

It really isnt a thing. I am not saying that is good or bad just that it is not common.

[Mandalore]

bg3, dragon age, mass effect, dos1, dos2, etc...

Point is, its hard to enjoy the later companions on harder difficulties because they are the worst, having skills that either don't work together or having level picks they can't even use, like medkit picks with ulfar. kinda silly.

Bloody hell look at divinity original sin 2, they lets you choose what class those companions are...
bg3 lets you do full respec except for race.

Name 5 cRPGs where you can respec only partially

[Kraehe]

i think the toybox mod lets you respec from level 1

[Wisefool]

I just tried with Toybox and Jae. I could only respec the second tier class. Couldn't do the officer levels.

Theres option to do full respec but it might break things.

Its a toggle on the bottom respec from lvl0.

Not really considering most games named were aRPG and not turn based cRPG.

Big difference.

So they named 1 company that does it Larian.

In the hundreds of turn based rpgs and that's all they could come up with.

Hence my point about it not being common a common feature still stands.

Whether Owlcat should allow it is a different story.

I'm just saying it's not common in this genre historically.

Dude, no. Just because a game is real time with pause does NOT make it an aRPG. If that were true, then literally all the original Baldurs Gate games, as well as Icewind Dale, as well as Neverwinter Nights, would be considered aRPGs... and they're 100% not.
